Current Muhurtas

In any daytime there are certain periods, which have special meaning.

Yama Ghantaka

{[kalams.yg.start]} - {[kalams.yg.end]}

Rishi Vasishtha: "Yama Ghantaka should always be avoided in any Muhurta for auspicious (Shubha) activity". It is considered that any activity (especially travelling) started during the period of Yama Ghantaka pushes the one towards to death.

Abhijeet Muhurta

{[kalams.am.start]} - {[kalams.am.end]}

Abhijit Muhurta is one of the most auspicious and powerful criteria for initiating all types of works.

Brahma Muhurta

{[kalams.bm.start]} - {[kalams.bm.end]}

Brahma Muhurta is optimal for waking up as well as any activity connected to spiritual practices (such as Hatha Yoga, Dhyana (meditation), etc), creating, planning, projections etc.

Gulikā Kalām

{[kalams.gk.start]} - {[kalams.gk.end]}

According to Jyotish knowledge Gulika Kalam is a very negative (Ashubha) period of time every day that should be shunned for all auspicious and beneficial activities.

Rahu Kalām

{[kalams.rk.start]} - {[kalams.rk.end]}

According to Jyotish knowledge Rahu Kaalam is a very negative (Ashubha) period of time every day that should be shunned for all auspicious and beneficial activities.

Rashi Drishti (sign aspects)

Other settings

Graha

Graha (if translated from Sanskrit) means "the one that controls". The physical bodies of Grahas in our world are planets. But the physical body of each Graha is only a small fraction of the whole concept of the term "Graha" as the planets representing Grahas are only terminals or visual forms. Grahas are also Devatas (Deva is the Sanskrit term for male-deity, Devi - the Sanskrit term for "female-deity), which are the sources of energies that structure everything in our world. With the right use of knowledge about those or other influences that Grahas have, the one can create a Kundali (horoscope) at any object and get a specific picture and knowledge about it.

Rashi

The word "Rashi" can be translated from Sanskrit as "the beam of sparkling constellation" and means the zodiacsign. Each Rashi, being a specific zone in space and time, is responsible for certain areas of life for each person on planet Earth.

Nakshatra

Nakshatras are 27 lunar constellations that in Vedic mythology were considered as 27 wives of Chandra (Moon). According to the legend Chandra was supposed to visit each Nakshatra in strict order, without giving preference to any wife.

Karkata

Cancer

Karkata (Cancer), the fourth sign of the zodiac, provides pliability, emotion, and the
quality of sympathetic appreciation. Its action is decisive, and its hold
invincible. Prom its grip, no one can extricate himself without shedding
some blood. Inwardly it is a little shaky about itself and uncertain of its
power and potential, which often makes it an easy target for birds of prey.
Sages consider the sign to represent the four aspects of Parabrah-man: sthula
(physical), sukshma (subtle), bija (causal), and sakshi (the Silent Watcher).
It also represents the four states of consciousness: jagrata (wakeful), sushupti
(the dream state), turiya (deep sleep) and nirvana or samadhi (deep
meditation). These attributes are suggestive of the fact that Karkata (Cancer) has a
wide range of operation and operates in the subjective as well as the
objective realm of manifestation. Esoterically, Karkata (Cancer) stands for the
interaction of time and space on the involutionary path of the soul. It is
related to the Hiranyagarbha of the Hindus and the Bythos of the Greeks. Karkata (Cancer) is feminine, watery and movable. Water is adaptable and can assume
any shape depending upon the vessel in which it is kept. Water is formless,
colorless, and odorless, but it is also the sustaining energy of all life. Cancer
provides sustenance: the differentiation of cosmic ideation in space and time
is an expression of this life-sustaining force. Being feminine in nature, Karkata (Cancer) is very productive provided it is met by the right kind of unity force. Karkata (Cancer) never feels at ease with inaction; it desires to be engaged in some
kind of movement — even mere displacement, or movement without much
significance.

Chandra (Moon) owns this sign, showing its great expansive capacity. Guru (Jupiter) is
exalted here, which reveals the protective quality of the sign. Mangala (Mars) is
debilitated, signifying inaction as the most trying experience for Karkata (Cancer).

Dhriti is the 8th Nitya (Naisargika) Yoga, which is ruled by Apas (another name is Jala) and considered to be benefic. Its effect usually described as "holding", "steadiness", "retention" or "delightful". Graha, who's ruling Dhriti, is Rahu.
